"Ladies and gentlemen, a shocking thing is happening in various parts of China right now, the imperial axe in Yanjing is crumbling at an avalanche rate, and as a person who has lived in China for thirty years and has helped the country to civilization, I find it incomprehensible..."

Sassoon, an Englishman with a swagger, pressed his hands down and made a gesture to pause the music.

Chai Dongliang watched coldly, the drama meat is finally here!

Sassoon continued: "As we all know, eleven years ago, a regrettable thing happened in China, after that bloody summer, the Qing Dynasty made great changes with the help of civilized countries... Ten years ago, the tax revenue of the political axe was only 80 million taels of silver, and today, it has increased dramatically to 300 million taels! Ten years ago, if you wanted to build a railway in China, it would be an impossible and difficult task, even for the powerful Lord Li Hongzhang, it would be difficult to do! Today, however, China's railways have gradually penetrated from the coastal cities to the poor and remote areas of the southwestern provinces! Various factories and mines invested by the state and private are also being built on a large scale!

Ten years ago, it was very rare for students to study in China, but now, through the efforts of those enlightened officials of the Qing Empire, there are already 20,000 students in the United Kingdom, Germany, France on the European continent, and even the more distant United States, there are a large number of Chinese students who are working hard to learn equipment to serve the motherland!

Ten years ago, in the summer, Master Li Hongzhang had equipped hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers with the most advanced weapons in the world, but unfortunately, those soldiers did not know how to use new weapons, so that soldiers armed with new Mauser rifles appeared, and the ammunition issued to them was not compatible with guns! Today, with the reform of the army, the new army of the empire has the combat effectiveness of the second-rate countries in Europe, and the effect of Zhangde Qiuyi is still very satisfactory.

As for the political aspect, the provinces and counties have set up councils, and the constitution is being drafted, and I am very pleased to see that an old empire is moving closer to the civilized world, and has already achieved initial results.

Of course, by the standards of a civilized country, Yanjing's imperial political axe is still difficult to be satisfied, the efficiency is underground, and the phenomenon of corruption [***] is more serious... However, these will be gradually solved with the constitutional reform of the Qing Empire's political axe, and everything in the empire is improving... Revolution will inevitably bring bloodshed and panic, as an old friend of China, I really can't understand that there is a need for revolution in the Chinese country at present! A revolution at this time will be a heavy blow to China's entry into the civilized world... As an old friend of the Chinese, I would like to ask the adults of the new regime in Wuhu if you can answer the confusion of this old man! ”

Everyone's eyes are on Chai Dongliang!

Chai Dongliang listened to Sassoon's tirade with a cigarette in his mouth, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold.

It turns out that this is the theme of today's banquet!

Sassoon? This name is so familiar!

Chai Dongliang suddenly remembered that this character had appeared in a historical novel he had read at the beginning!

Old Sassoon, a wealthy Jewish businessman, came to China from the Middle East in his early years, started by selling opium, during the Sino-French War, because of the Qing army's victory in Zhennanguan, which caused a panic in the Shanghai Concession, and foreigners believed that China would take back the concession and expel foreigners.

At this time, Sassoon, with the unique shrewdness of the Jews, saw through that the Qing court was just a clay-footed giant with a fierce inward-looking, and also analyzed from the battle situation that although the Qing political axe won a small victory in the land battle, it did not have the ability to expand the victory, and the Nanyang naval division had been completely wiped out, due to the local real power faction of the Qing court to beggar-thy-neighbor and not save each other, the consequence of the total annihilation of the Nanyang naval division was that the French navy could land at any point in southern China to threaten China's security. It can even cut off China's shipping and transportation, causing famine and turmoil throughout the country, and then triggering a crisis in the ruling of the Qing Dynasty...

After Sassoon saw through this, he bought the sold land in the Shanghai Concession on a large scale. As Sassoon expected, not long after the armistice between China and France was signed, the land price in the Shanghai concession skyrocketed, and Sassoon became a famous businessman in Shanghai from an inconspicuous opium dealer. and won the knighthood by serving the British political axe for a large sum of money, and the Sassoon family also became related to the British royal family.

Chai Dongliang knew in his heart that foreigners did not like the Qing Dynasty political axe, and they did not hate the revolutionary party, but since the Opium War, the foreigners have defeated the imperial court again and again, and through 70 years of time, more than 10 wars, large and small, have completely scared the imperial court, and no longer have the courage to argue with the foreigners.

Foreigners are also human beings, and they will also be nervous about future changes, as vested interests, they instinctively do not want to change, because this may damage their interests!

Vested interests have always been like this, even if it is only a possible surname, they instinctively want to strangle it in the cradle!

The concession is a country within a country, and Taipan is the king of the country, and even the director of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, Sassoon, can arrange at will, and the British Consul General in Shanghai is almost equivalent to a follower in front of him. Mitsui & Co. is said to be a giant in the business world, plus a French consul... This Wuhu Wu family is not simple, and the level of the Hongmen banquet is not low!

Britain and France wanted to keep their vested interests from the Qing Dynasty, and they wanted to swallow China in one bite, so as to realize the continental dream that began in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era.

Thinking of this, Chai Dongliang's mind suddenly brightened, and he spit out a smoke ring wildly, watching it gradually expand and rise, and finally disappear without a trace.

"Mr. Sassoon, if I'm not mistaken, you're Jew, aren't you?"

Sassoon's face turned pale with anger, because Europeans have a long tradition of ostracizing and despising Jews, and Jews are better off in Britain, but they are synonymous with inferior untouchables in continental European countries. In the works of scholars and literati, Jews have always been synonymous with greed and obscenity.

Sassoon never expected that the revolutionary party in front of him would be so clear about its own details!

"Mr. Sassoon, what would you do if the Jews were forced to renounce their religion and revise the 'Old Testament.'" Chai Dongliang sneered.

"Fight, or die!" Sassoon is unequivocal.

The Jews were extremely stubborn in their adherence to the religion and belief of their own nation, and they were slaughtered by the Roman emperors for thousands of years, and killed and plundered by the Christian monarchs of various European countries for various reasons, but they could not be converted.

Chai Dongliang stood up, applauded, and exclaimed: "Well said, wonderful!" ”

Sassoon was puzzled: "I don't understand, what does this have to do with China's affairs?" ”

"Good question! Since the Tatars entered the customs, the extremely cruel apartheid policy has been implemented, and the wicker side has been blocked for more than 200 years. The banner people cannot intermarry, and millions of banner people do not produce and farm, and they are all nourished by the blood of the Han people!

Yangzhou said, Jiading three massacres... Even if these cruel massacres hundreds of years ago, we can all forgive them! The wounds caused by blood in the soul can be healed with time!

But we can never forgive the Manchu court for trying to destroy our culture! This kind of injury is still happening today, and this kind of wound cannot be healed!

The core of Chinese culture is filial piety! Keep your hair and don't keep your head... This is to make us give up our faith in our ancestors, so that every Han person will be charged with unfilial piety since birth! Repair the four libraries of the whole book, the storage of books is only 70,000 volumes, and the destruction of books is more than several times, even the surviving books have been tampered with a thousand holes! Let me ask, what reason is there not to overthrow a minority regime that survives by sucking the blood of the Juche nation? What reason is there not to destroy a minority regime that has spared no effort to destroy Juche's national culture for hundreds of years?

My answer, Mr. Sassoon, is the same as yours, fight or die! ”

Fight or die!

Chai Dongliang said sonorously and powerfully, and a few words seemed to be hovering in the huge room, and everyone fell silent.

"Bang Bang"

Suddenly, there was crisp applause in the room, Chai Dongliang followed the prestige, and the face of a green girl flashed in the window on the second floor, and before he could see clearly, the window was already closed.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask what contribution the new regime will make to China's progress and to the whole world if it rules China. Or will it be superior to Yanjing's Qing political axe? Glenn, the French consul who had been silent, asked with a wine glass in his hand and a slight shake.

"Freedom! Only freedom can bring progress! As Mr. Sassoon said, the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty has more than tripled in ten years, but what about the people? The poverty of the people is even worse, and the progress of the country has not brought any benefit to the people! Railways are being extended, factories are being built, but the result is that countless peasants are displaced without any real compensation!

The freedom of 40,000 people in China is in itself a great contribution to world civilization! ”

Glenn disagreed, taking a sip of whiskey.

"Mr. Glenn, Mr. Sassoon, I will send you a paragraph of you" Chai Dongliang took a deep breath and said slowly in a deep voice: "When the king of terror descends on the world, the old continent becomes a sea of fire, and the blood of Europe is about to dry up... A million yellow-skinned Chinese boys will become the only hope to save the free world!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the Chinese still had no reaction, and all the foreigners were stunned, most of these people were foreign companies from various countries in Wuhu, they could understand Chinese, and they were immediately impressed by Chai Dongliang, Sassoon's white face was even paler as paper, and the wine glass in Glenn's hand was almost crushed.

This revolutionary party, which won the five prefectures and thirteen counties of Wuhu empty-handed, actually knows so much about Europe! Is it really impossible to avoid war in Europe?

A million Chinese lads? Does the world really need yellow-skinned, black-eyed Chinese lads to save it?

"Farewell!"

Chai Dongliang shook his sleeves and clenched his fists: "Brother has drunk enough, thank you for the master's kindness!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already floated out of the door.

Gao Ming kept his head down and smoked a hookah, and when he saw Chai Dong go out of the door, he threw the gift box in his hand to Wu Jintang, the eldest young master of the Wu family, who was already dumbfounded.

"Wu Gongzi, my family said it, when he goes out, you can open it and take a look!"

After that, Master Gao also shook his sleeves and walked away.
